A STINKING SLAB CUT OUT OF A GREAT CITY...

Five avenues wide, stretching from the saloons of 8th Avenue to the rotting docks on the Hudson River, slashing north two or three slum-ridden streets - that was Hell's Kitchen.

Where kids were born and became thugs before they got thrown out of school, and died before they were old enough to vote - their bullet-splattered flesh eventually staining the pavement just another shade darker. Where backyard clubs taught the delinquents to be gangsters and the gangsters to be killers.

One man knows this stinking slab cut out of a great city, knows it better and tells it better than any man ever before him. That man is Benjamin Appel. Here is a book that throbs with all the pulse of life and lechery, of heroes and hoodlums, of innocent painted dolls and prostitutes. When you read Hell's Kitchen you will know why William Saroyan said: "Benjamin Appel-you are the best story writer in America."

Teen-Age Trouble

All at once, life was much too complicated for young Brad Dixon...

There was his parents' disapproval of his love for virginal Mitzi Gaines...There was the problem of Deedee Sayers, hot-eyed and hot-lipped, who constantly tried to arouse his nascent manhood...and wanton Dale Sayers, Deedee's mother, who thought Brad would be a nice change from the tired businessmen who beat a path to her bed...

Finally, there were the Black Vampires, juvenile delinquents on motorcycles, who repelled Brad even though their dedication to debauchery and wanton destruction appealed to the dark side of his nature.

Bonnie came from a respectable, well-to-do home. And was she ever bored!

Her flesh cried out for the thrills of danger, speed, punishment. She craved the torment and rapture that only one society on earth could offer her. The Apaches - a lustful, barbaric biker gang.

She abandoned her young body to their rituals. She flung herself into their crazed way of life. This to her WAS life. Till the stink of death drifted in...

By then, of course, it was too late for Bonnie.

HUGH BARRON, bestselling author of DOLLBABY and FUN CITY, now reveals the horror of the leather-clad, heavy metal world of the motorcycle gangs.
